One side-effect of Brexit is that other legislation is not being implemented. This was characterised by a recent Evening Standard cartoon which showed a drone representing Brexit and all the grounded aeroplanes representing the legislation that wasn't going to happen.
One thing I didn't realise until checking on the drone story today was that drone legislation which could have helped prevent the Gatwick situation was canned by Chris Grayling as he diverted his civil servants to work on Brexit instead.
